Comments, opinions, thoughts
There are many comments on the Truma Mover TE on the web. Here we have identified a few of the useful good and bad points to give you an indication of what users are saying.
Positive
‘The 12n is a Truma safety feature. The idea is you plug the caravan 12n into the 12n socket wired back to the Truma control unit. If it’s not connected the mover won’t operate as it believes you have the van attached to the car’
‘…The Truma TE is a great mover and a lot lighter & cheaper than competitors. It has limitations on turning circle though compared with a 4WD unit. On the plus side it can be as much as £600 cheaper !’
Negative
‘I’ve have the same van with a Truma TE mover fitted. Unless you‘re confident reversing I think a mover is essential. I only have one issue with mine in so much as the van battery has to be in tip top condition or the mover can stop functioning on one side. Unless you’re the Schwarzenegger type with a buddy to help this van is too heavy to move by hand without doing your back in (I’ve done it)’

Positive
‘It only took me around 3hrs to fit our Truma mover at home. No problems at all….’
‘Had mine fitted new in 2003 to my Compass Magnum, transferred over to my new Burstner in summer 2007. Never had any problems with this unit which is used at home departing/arriving every trip for approx 10 minutes each use and on site more regularly now than ever before as I find using it saves time especially on some sites where reverse parking is compromised by units parked opposite’
Negative
‘The Truma Mover S doesn’t have a built in isolator switch. We had a flat after leaving the van for a few weeks’
Tip – Fitting an isolator in a convenient location is a very easy modification that will save this. Make sure to fit in in a location that you can always get to even if you park the caravan in a tight space.

Positive
‘Our Coachman VIP has a Truma Mover and it is excellent. Automatic engagement and fantastic manoeuvrability. No dirty or sore knees winding the mechanism on to the wheels!!!’.
‘I fitted the Truma mover myself in about 3 hrs with no problems at all….’.
Negative
‘My mover wouldn’t active. Called Truma & they suggested charging the battery. Told them it was fine but did it anyway… Result, all working. The mover is obviously the first to suffer if the battery starts to go’.
The Truma Mover SE is a fantastic product at the top end of the mover range. Perfect for those who find it difficult to manoeuvre their caravan or for people who love the idea of point and click convenience. With great customer service, and fast delivery, check out the below offers.
The original Truma Caravan Mover was born out of the hugely successful Carver mover range. Over the past 10 years, the model has been refined and today represents a solid introductory model that represents both value and performance.
Though at the entry level, the original Truma caravan mover still features the robust design and advanced technology you’d expect from Truma. The roller coating has been improved to increase the grip delivered to the wheels in the toughest conditions, enhancements to the electronics and PCB board design make the circuits more reliable and the remote control unit now uses an FM signal to enhance the handsets performance. In following through on their commitment to quality, even the low range Truma caravan mover exhibits the attention to detail and build quality of more expensive competitors.

Manual actuation: Simple, effective manual engagement system onto a maximum of 205mm tyres keeps the price of this mover low. An optional cross actuation kit allows those with restricted access to engage/disengage the system from just one side.
Benefits of a Truma caravan mover
As technology advances, what used to be considered a luxury becomes an essential. Just as Bill Gates was mocked for suggesting there would be a PC in every home (let alone two or three), Caravan Movers used to be considered unnecessary. Now though, there are several distinct advantages to owning a Truma Caravan Mover:
Storing your caravan in a difficult to access location, or with a difficult to manage surface (bumps, potholes or loose gravel) does not mean that bringing the caravan in or out has to be a chore with a Mover doing the hard work.
Rushing to get away, or being upset/worried about returning home can be stressful enough. With a Mover obeying your every command, there is no need to add to the stress by trying to co-ordinate the family in helping you move the caravan.
If age or injury means you can no longer manhandle your caravan, you don’t have to sacrifice the outdoors if you let the Mover do the heavy work for you.

The internet is awash with comments on the original Truma Caravan Mover. Below we’ve brought together some of the good and bad to give you a feel for what people are saying.
Positive
‘Truma after care are very helpful. My Mover stopped working toward the end of last season. Truma offered to check out the set up at their workshop (Derby) or just ‘go over’ the unit if I couldn’t get to Derby and posted the unit. Though I was adamant it was fine, the suggested first trying a different battery. What do you know, a new battery did the job. Bery helpful & saved me removing the unit’.
‘The cross actuation kit (an extra on the original Truma caravan mover) is well worth the extra cost. Parking the caravan next to a wall would be a real pain if I had to be able to access the wheel arch on both sides’.
Negative
‘The original Truma caravan mover does not have a built in isolator and there is some drain when powered even when not being used. It is well worth having your own fitted when it’s installed. Remember to locate this somewhere convenient that remains accessible once you’ve parked’.
The original Truma caravan mover is a fantastic entry level mover for those who are looking for a quality single axel mover and don’t mind manual actuation. With great customer service, a price matching promise and fast delivery, check out the below offers.
The Truma Mover product range was launched in the UK in 2000 following the acquisition of Carver. Carver, who managed to capture the market in 1997 with their first mover, developed the product into the biggest selling after market add-on. This hugely successful design forms the basis of the much improved Original Truma mover available on the market today.
The success of the range has lead to a number of further enhancements over the years and there are now four Truma Mover products available to suit various budgets and requirements. Manufactured in Germany at the Truma HQ, you can be sure of superiour quality assurance compared with cheaper imports. Products are then shipped to the UK distribution hub where, if required, they are tailored for the domestic market before being dispatched across the UK.
